Labor Day Crazy Day: Okinawa, Japan

Well Well

We have decided to start blogging our adventures for our family and friends to see :)

Kinda like scrappin online. Ha ha ha.

So this Labor Day weekend we had ups, downs, in's, out's and much exploring.

One of our closest family members known as Gpa Grape passed away at the ripe age of 94.
He'll be missed!!

And my brother and his wife had their first baby girl.
Kyra Sue Morano 8lbs. Gorgeous neice.......Kyra has a slight cleft lip and will undergo a surgery in Peoria, IL for this. We'll be keeping my brother, sister in law and Kyra in our prayers as they endure this new life with a baby. There seems to always be good with the bad.

However in efforts to keep our minds off of things back home....

We went exploring...

Japan has some of the craziest things ..........

Like this rabbit. ha ha ha.....

And then our friend Chris who we've known for a coon's age and gets drug along with us for some of the adventuring. We don't bore him with all of it.

So this weekend, we visited many things.
An Underwater Ocean Observatory, A castle of sweets, A new "international" pancake house, the wonderful monorail and many stops that came with that.

Pics from the underwater observatory. It was very windy on the peir that day. They also offer glass bottom boat rides, however with the way the current was we decided to come back and do that a different day :)

These are pics from the sweets castle.

Matthew had a blast filling up his basket with different treats to take home. And also we could test out some of them via samples. Very nice time. Also there is an area where you can watch how the treats are made and that seemed to very high speed!!

Menu from the actual "International" House of Pancakes called Jakkepoes. Very yummy!!!

Stay tuned for the next blog...as I try to figure this bloggin thing out!!

Hugs from Asia!!
